Mosaics of Change: The First Decade of Life in the New Eastern Europe

Abstract

These papers consitute the Conference Proceedings from Cultural Transformations and Civil Society: Reflecting on a Decade of Change, May 13-16, 1999 at Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. True to the conference organizational design, the essays in this book are grouped thematically rather than by discipline. Thus, the reader finds varying perspectives on a number of cultural processes that are observable in the region: tradition revived and contested, inventions and innovations, new publics, and the politics of culture. We use this approach to encourage crossdisciplinary and cross-national dialogue.
